Saint Debbie

By Bernard Mendillo

SAINT DEBBIE is a literate farce about the faculty of a small Catholic high school, desperately trying to save it from being shut down my militant nuns. The four off-center teachers, each with issues and pasts that boil up over the surface, and the fearsome janitor with the Harvard degree, seem an unlikely gang to team up to do anything. They're much too consumed with lust, oddball interests, irreverence and self-centeredness. All the while, they try to find romance, redemption and something to do. Mite Boxes. Bake sales. Nuns from Slackastan. A saint who slept with any man who could climb her pile of mulch. Popes. Mother Superiors. Red rosaries to pray against communism. A quest to rid the world of birth-control pills. If it's odd, if it's Catholic, if it borders on absurd-it's grist for the faculty mill at the Academy of Saint Deborra of the Sinful Mulch-a.k.a., Saint Debbie's. As the situation worsens, the band of near misfits find themselves to be the last line of defense. Can them come up with a way to raise ninety-seven thousand dollars in two weeks? Can they find a miracle called Google? Or will the Academy of Saint Deborra of the Sinful Mulch be doomed to extinction?
